THE 2019 ANNUAL OUTLOOK
Floating Liquefaction and Regasification, an Assessment of Future Requirements for FLNGs and FSRUs
The report contains a detailed analysis of the global LNG market and an assessment of the role floating liquefaction and regasification will play in meeting future requirements for natural gas. It is divided into three major sections:
- LNG Demand and Supply — future global gas demand and supply, where LNG fits in satisfying global gas demand, the current and future LNG pricing environment and requirements for additional liquefaction and regasification capacity to meet future gas demand growth
- Floating Liquefaction Plants — technology challenges on floating LNG plants, competitiveness of FLNGs, project investment drivers, details for FLNG projects in the planning queue and our assessment of the likelihood each of these projects will move forward to development
- Floating Regasification Terminals — advantages of floating terminals, issues and constraints in FSRU projects, terminal investment drivers and barriers, details for FSRU terminals in the planning queue and our assessment of the likelihood each of these terminals will move forward to development

We don’t just provide a snapshot of the floating liquefaction and regasification sector. Our online fully searchable LNG database updates all of the project information on a 24/7 basis. As we receive new information about projects from our network of industry contacts, the database is immediately updated to reflect the latest situation. Users can access any FLNG project or FSRU terminal — in operation, under construction and planned — and immediately find the latest information on project status, along with any changes in timing and probability of the project investment decision. Database users are able to select any combination of data about projects and export the data to excel for evaluation — or use the sorting and graphics provided with the database for making comparisons and benchmarking. The search capability is user friendly and our IT staff is available to assist with any issues or questions
The 2019 Annual Outlook and real-time database is tailored for use by business planners, investors, & others involved in Floating Liquefaction and Regasification projects.
